"Whichever Stone You Lift: Memorials from Grove Street's Jewish Cemetery" by Knox Gardner
June 8- July 27, 2007 Opening reception, Friday, June 8, 6:30pm
"Whichever Stone You Lift" features photographs of grave markers found in the Jewish cemeteries on Grove Street in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. What caught Gardner’s eye about these gravestones was that they feature ceramic photographs of the deceased. Gardner found that this style of memorial was most prevalent on grave markers dated from 1915 to 1935, and that only certain Jewish congregations in the large cemetery complex seemed to adopt it.
